Roseli Siqueira explains whether the practice can have the opposite effect and aggravate the signs of aging
Facial gymnastics has gained more and more popularity, as it consists of a technique that involves performing exercises to strengthen facial muscles and improve the appearance of the skin. However, there is a question that circulates: can facial gymnastics make wrinkles and expression lines worse? is this really true?
Before answering that question, it’s important to understand how the signs of aging form on our faces. Skin tags are caused by the loss of collagen and elastin, which are fibers responsible for firmness and elasticity. Furthermore, wrinkles can be aggravated by the repetitive contraction of facial muscles that occurs over the years due to everyday expressions such as smiling and frowning.

Although facial gymnastics is a repetitive movement, it will work the muscles towards repositioning. And the secret to not gaining more lines is to use a 100% natural oil (from sunflower, pumpkin and coconut seeds) to moisten the skin well before starting the exercise. When the skin is dry and you do the movements, it will mark. Now, using the oil and another moisturizer, to leave the skin well moisturised, this does not happen.
Therefore, it is a myth that facial gymnastics can make wrinkles and expression lines worse. This practice is a great ally for your skin care routine. The exercises can be performed manually, using the hands to massage and press specific points on the face, or through isolated facial movements.
